LETTER  OF  TRANSMITTAL 


Governor  Cameron  Morrison, 

Raleigh,  N.  C. 

Sir: — Transmitted  herewith  is  the  report  of  the  operation  of  the 
State  Treasury  for  the  fiscal  years  ending  June  30,  1923-1924. 

Under  the  appropriation  Laws  of  1917-1919  and  Special  Legislative 
Act  1920,  $1,000,000  excess  building  appropriations  were  made  over 
special  fund  provision  and  payment  had  to  be  made  from  the  general 
fund  coming  into  the  Treasury  during  the  past  four  years,  and  should 
not  be  considered  as  an  expense  of  government.  In  like  manner  a  defi- 
cit of  $710,000  in  1919-1920  public  school  taxes  were  met.  In  my 
opinion,  the  Legislature  should  care  for  these  two  amounts  by  short- 
term  funding  bonds.  The  State  is  building  a  public  road  in  Madison 
County  out  of  the  general  fund,  special  act  of  the  Legislature,  which 
is  mounting  up  rapidly,  and  I  am  not  in  a  position  to  say  what  the  ulti- 
mate cost  may  be.  It  should  be  understood  that  appropriations  made 
must  be  paid,  and,  when  special  funds  are  not  provided,  the  liability 
falls  upon  the  general  fund,  as  there  is  no  other  resource. 

Kespectfully  submitted, 

B.  E..  Lact, 

State  Treasurer.
